Bio and Research
Dr. Crowder's Research Page
Dr. Crowder's research centers on predation and food web interactions, mechanisms underlying recruitment variation in fishes, and on population and food web modeling in conservation biology. He has studied food web processes in estuaries and lakes, and has used observational, experimental and modeling approaches to understand these interactions in an effort to improve fisheries management. He co-directed the South Atlantic Bight Recruitment Experiment (SABRE) and continues to conduct research on the life histories of estuarine-dependent fishes. He continues to conduct model and statistical analyses to assist in endangered species management for both aquatic (sea turtles) and terrestrial species (red-cockaded woodpeckers). Recently he has begun developing more extensive programs in marine conservation, including research on bycatch, spatial analysis, nutrients and low oxygen, marine invasive species and integrated ecosystem management.
